RED SILK AND JADE
Zhao Lianhua is a modern-day historical drama writer, obsessed with creating the perfect palace romance. In her story, Hua Ling is a kingdom ruled by women, where princesses navigate love, power, and betrayal—and her youngest, most beloved daughter, carries the weight of the crown.
But when the actor chosen to play her tragic male lead, Li Zhiyuan, refuses her story—dismissing the heartbreak she crafted—Lianhua’s life takes an impossible turn. Falling asleep while reading her manuscript, she awakens to find herself inside her own story… and in the body of her character, the youngest princess of Hua Ling.
Now, the man who rejected her in the real world stands before her in the palace courtyard, not as an actor, but as the ambitious prince of Jin Yue, a patriarchal country intent on claiming Hua Ling. With nothing but her wit, courage, and a fiery red silk gown, Lianhua mounts a horse and issues a command: “Marry me!”
Thrown into a world of palace intrigue, dangerous conspiracies, playful rivalries, and forbidden romance, Lianhua must navigate the challenges of love and power—while rewriting the fate of a kingdom. Can a modern mind and a bold heart triumph in a world where betrayal and ambition lurk in every shadow?
Red Silk and Jade is a sweeping historical romance filled with drama, comedy, sword fights, political intrigue, and a love story that defies time itself.
